Bahasa Yunani Koine Yahudi

Bahasa Yunani Koine Yahudi adalah ragam bahasa Yunani Koine yang ditemukan dalam sejumlah naskah Yahudi Helenistik, terutama dalam terjemahan Septuaginta dari Alkitab Ibrani dan sastra terkait, serta dalam naskah tradisi Yahudi Yunani dari Palestina. Istilah ini sebagian besar setara dengan bahasa Yunani di Septuaginta sebagai kategori budaya dan sastra ketimbang kategori linguistik. Sintaksis kecil dan variasi kosakata dalam bahasa Yunani Koine dari penulis Yahudi tidak berbeda secara linguistik seperti bahasa turunannya seperti bahasa Yunani Romaniot yang dituturkan oleh kaum Yahudi Romaniot di Yunani.Matthew Kraus How should rabbinic literature be read in the modern world? 2006, page 214. "It is suggestive of a “Jewish koine” that stretched beyond the frontiers of Jewish Palestine.50 Interpretations of biblical narrative scenes have also been discovered in the Land of Israel. The visit of the angels to Abraham was found at Sepphoris "

Karya ilmiah utama di bidang ini dilakukan oleh para cendekiawan seperti Henry Barclay Swete dalam bab 4 Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek.Henry Barclay Swete Introduction to the Old Testament in Greek Chapter 4: The Greek of the Septuagint Namun, penekanan Swete pada kekhasan bahasa Yunani Septuaginta dibandingkan dengan teks-teks Yunani lainnya pada periode tersebut sebagian besar telah ditarik kembali oleh para sarjana kemudian karena banyak papirus dan prasasti Koine domestik dan administrasi non-Yahudi telah ditemukan dan dipelajari dengan lebih baik. Sejak Swete menyamakan bahasa Yahudi Koine dengan "bahasa Yunani di Septuaginta" juga telah diperluas, menempatkan Septuaginta dalam konteks berbagai teks Yahudi pada periode tersebut, yang terakhir memasukkan teks Yunani di antara Naskah Laut Mati.W. D. Davies, Louis Finkelstein The Cambridge History of Judaism: Volume 2, The Hellenistic Age 1990 Page 105 "Even in the expression of central theological concepts, such as that of love or that of the 'people' (of God), the LXX commonly uses the general terminology of its own time.1 Good examples of fairly colloquial Jewish koine can also be found in non-canonical writings like Joseph and Asenath or the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs...

Tidak ada penulis kuno atau abad pertengahan yang mengenali dialek Yunani Yahudi yang berbeda.A.-F. Christidis  A History of Ancient Greek: From the Beginnings to Late Antiquity – Page 640 2007 "No ancient or medieval writer recognizes a distinct Jewish dialect of Greek. In particular, Jews themselves have no name for any “Jewish- Greek” idiolect (contrast later terms like Yiddish [Judeo-German] or Judezmo [Judeo-Spanish])." Konsensus akademik umum adalah bahwa bahasa Yunani yang digunakan dalam naskah Yunani Koine Yahudi tidak cukup berbeda secara dari naskah Yunani Koine non-Yahudi. Hal tersebut juga berlaku untuk bahasa dalam Perjanjian Baru.Adam B. Jacobsen –  Proceedings of the 20th International Congress of Papyrologists Page 57 1994  "Mark does reflect Semitic interference in certain regards (loan-word borrowings, semantics), but his syntax and style are largely free of it.39 While the editor of P.Yadin does not speak of a 'Jewish dialect' of Greek, I believe that in his ..."Chang-Wook Jung The Original Language of the Lukan Infancy Narrative 2004– Page 11 "... or at other times 'a special Jewish dialect of Greek'.

Karena pengaruh dominan Septuaginta, naskah-naskah pertama "Yunani Kristen" dan "Yunani Patristik" awal keduanya merupakan perpanjangan dari bahasa Yunani Klasik di satu sisi, dan bahasa Yunani Alkitabiah dan Yunani Yahudi Hellenistik di sisi lain.Natalio Fernández Marcos The Septuagint in Context: Introduction to the Greek Version of ...

 Tata bahasa 
Tata bahasa Yunani Koine sudah menyimpang dari tata bahasa Yunani Kuno di beberapa wilayah, tetapi naskah-naskah Yahudi umumnya konsisten dengan naskah non-Yahudi, dengan pengecualian sejumlah kecil semitisme tata bahasa.Jacob Milgrom, David Pearson Wright, David Noel Freedman Pomegranates and Golden Bells: Studies in Biblical, Jewish, and ...  1995  Page 808 "On the pronounced paratactic character of the Jewish Koine, influenced by both popular Greek and Semitic Hebrew and Aramaic, see F. Blass and A. Debrunner, A Greek Grammar of the New Testament (trans. and rev. R. W. Funk: Chicago: ..." Seperti yang diharapkan banyak teks Yahudi menunjukkan hampir tidak ada penyimpangan dari Koine atau "Attika Umum" yang digunakan oleh penulis non-Yahudi. Para penulis yang menulis untuk pembaca non-Yahudi seperti Yosefus dan Filo mengamati kaidah tata bahasa Yunani jauh di atas banyak sumber pagan yang bertahan.

 Neologisme 
Perbedaan utama antara Septuaginta, dan sastra terkait, dan teks Koine non-Yahudi kontemporer adalah adanya sejumlah neologisme (istilah baru) atau penggunaan kosakata baru.Katrin Hauspie, Neologisms in the Septuagint of Ezekiel. 17–37. JNSL 27/1 in Journal of Northwest Semitic Languages – Universiteit van StellenboschJohan Lust, Erik Eynikel and Katrin Hauspie. Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint 2008 PrefaceT. Muraoka A Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint 2009  Preface to the 3rd Edition Namun, hapax legomena mungkin tidak selalu menunjukkan neologisme, mengingat pokok bahasan khusus dari Septuaginta.The Greek and Hebrew Bible: Collected Essays on the Septuagint – Volume 72 – Page 140 ed. Emanuel Tov "There is another reason for a cautious use of the label 'neologism': a word described as a neologism on the basis of our present knowledge may, in fact, be contained in an as yet unpublished papyrus fragment or the word may never have been used in written language." Juga beberapa "neologisme" dari Septuaginta bukanlah istilah yang sama sekali baru dan mungkin merupakan perpaduan dari istilah-istilah yang ada seperti fenomena Neubildungen'' dalam bahasa Jerman, seperti sejumlah besar kata majemuk yang mewakili dua atau lebih kata Ibrani.Tov "...Neubildungen is more precise..."
